|My first idea can be summed up in two words: Vengeful Spirits. After all,

|could possibly be called forth by that much pain and suffering. Could the
|death agonies have created a sort of toxic domain? Could a child's
|"invisible friend" have been a free spirit? For that matter, some types of
|evil spirits might take more of an interest in the characters. Or maybe
|something more corporeal wants revenge: parents, friends, etc.
Or maybe something wants to go along for the ride, like a
Wraith. <heh, heh, heh>
